It's been reported that Abramovich promised Terry that he'd make some marquee signings to show his commitment to Chelsea, so apparently they have Pirlo, Aguero and Ribery on their radar and are ready to battle it out with Utd with a £100M war-chest!!
Where this leaves Essien, Obi Mikel, Cole etc remains to be seen......

Ancelotti is trying to play a diamond system so I guess the idea is to alternate these players in a midfield:
---------Lampard/Ballack---------
Malouda/Ribery----------Essien/Joe
------------Mikel/Pirlo----------
Though, we'll never get Ribery so Zhirkov would be used as cover for both Left Midfield and Left Back positions.
The main thing is to snap up Aguero. He is every Chelsea fan's top target at the moment. Should he sign, and we add a creative midfielder of the Pirlo mode, we will win the League at quite a canter in my opinion. It's a bit of a cliche but I think a young world class striker and 'creative' midfielder are the missing pieces of the jigsaw, in my opinion. It's promising that reports are suggesting Roman is happy to whip out the Mastercard again.
I would add that Essien signed to a long term deal last season and Mikel has just signed an extension. I don't think they are unhappy.
If we managed to get all three of those players it would just be incredible.
As for Joe to Spurs? Well, Joe is in for contract talks and I'd expect him to stay. I'd hate to see him at Tottenham, but it's possible.
